Discrimination, Blacks and the Apprenticeship Trade Programs
Medoff, Marshall H.
Negro Educational Review, 26, 4, 147-154, Oct 75
Discusses the factors emphasized by the apprenticeship establishment (trade unions and employers) in explaining the paucity of black apprentices. Argues that since the lack of participation by blacks in apprenticeship programs is due primary to discrimination, increased government action to guarantee blacks equal access in apprenticeship programs is necessary.
